Portrait of a Lady on Fire
Directed By: Cèline Sciamma
I want to say right off the bat it took me about 30 minutes to get into this one. It’s beautiful throughout but there’s especially a dreaminess about the beginning and not much dialogue.
I suppose like a lot of relationships it really picks up when everyone starts talking to each other.
“He looked at her like she was a steak and he was someone who… ate steak. Raw and moaning.”
Yes Sarah J. Maas is back and she’s been unleashed (at least officially) on the “adult” book world.
Blonde
By: Joyce Carol Oates
I read this book ages ago probably around the time it was first published and remember loving it. I was determined to give it a reread after I heard the upcoming Ana de Armas movie is based on Blonde.
This time around and once again in a bit of a Marilyn phase I’m much more torn.
There’s going to be a Lord of the Rings cast reunion this Sunday! And that shot right to the top of my list of things to look forward to 🙂
Clap When You Land
By: Elizabeth Acevedo
I love the idea of books in verse and they are fun fast reads but when I’m done with them (especially the Acevedo ones) I’m usually left with the feeling of wanting more. And Clap When You Land is no different.
It’s a Summer Reading TBR!
This post is in concert with Top 5 Tuesday hosted by Bionic Bookworm although I do go above 5… I couldn’t stop myself! So many good new books so many backlisted books I’m getting to this summer just so many books!
I don’t travel a lot (or ever really) and unfortunately I don’t see that changing this year but one of the great things about movies is the fantasy of going somewhere you’ve never been. And it doesn’t just mean space or Middle Earth.
There are some great movies that are like taking fun filled vacations for far less money.
We got ourselves a shiny new Tenet trailer last night and as much as I go back and forth on the will I or won’t I go back to theaters I have no doubt in my mind I’m going to for this one.
So news broke yesterday that we are indeed going to see Zack Snyder’s Justice League cut next year on the new Warner Brothers/ HBO streaming service. Which to be honest while I’m not that excited about a new version of the movie this could mean huge things for streaming and Hollywood.
Witches Abroad
By: Terry Pratchett
Luggage, Luggage, where are you?
Okay I won’t whine about my favorite sentient baggage being absent because these days are the perfect days for Discworld and this is one of my favorites so far!
